NEWS: Engagement and Windows 7

I recently downloaded Windows 7 RC (64-bit) and started testing Engagement's (version 5.0.1026) compatibility with Windows 7. There were some issues with the install but I finally got it to work. I contacted Engagement support and was told that they expect Engagement to be compatible with Windows 7 when it's finalized and said the general time line for Windows 7 compatibility is sometime in 2010.

However, they did not state whether a 64-bit version of Engagement was in the works or that SQL 64-bit would be supported for the 2010 release. Here's to hoping CCH develops a true 64-bit option and not just one that runs on a 64-bit OS.

I am testing on Windows 7 RC(32 bit however). I too am experiencing installer issues. What did you need to do to get past the installer issues? It is reporting that I need to be an administrator, (Which I am).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am also trying to install on Win 7 (32 bit). How did you get around the "you do not have administrative rights on this computer" error.
